The United States (US) State Department had already approved the potential sale of the AH-1Z Viper and AH-64E Apache Attack Helicopters to the Philippines, but these still need the approval of their Congress.
The US’ procedure for all Foreign Military Sales (FMS) to non-North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Countries for Major Defense Equipment (MDE) worth more than Usd 14 million is to give their Congress a Formal Notification Period of 30 days.
I am not exactly sure when the US State Department first gave their Congress the notification for the AH-1Z and AH-64E potential sales, but assuming it was April 30, 2020 then the notification period will lapse in May 30, 2020. If the US Congress doesn’t object to the potential sales by that date then they will be considered as approved by them.
